A gambling company closely linked to Nigel Farage’s right-hand "Posh George" Cottrell got its licence using a document which appears to have been faked.

Very proud to stand alongside @kf_morris in the rich pantheon of Cohen chroniclers at @dispatch__media . Writers step forward so we can do Bruno next

I want everyone to know that I too was quietly bereaved when I didn't get this present from @milesellingham, mainly because I was instead presented with a horrifying collar / necklace from Cyberdog lol.
Went out to report on the by-election, ended up writing about Camden more broadly.
Polanski is not a local and locals can tell. Faduma, 31, is the sort of voter the Greens would traditionally be looking to attract — a young, liberal-minded Muslim woman, moved by the suffering of Gaza, sympathetic to Corbyn and deeply enmeshed with the local community via her work at a youth centre on Crowndale Road.
‘He’s not from the borough,’ Faduma says of the Green Party leader, ‘I think he’s a great politician, and his promises sound fantastic. But how much is he going to deliver for us if he does win? [He doesn’t] know the community’s needs.’ Faduma loves it here. ‘The second I leave Camden,’ she says, ‘I can feel it.’
Likewise, Faduma implicitly knows that Abdi-Wali is a Camden girl. ‘She understands what’s going on. She knows what’s happening with her constituency.’

Macabre banger from @LotteBrundle
They’re barely out of school — and spend their days tending to the dead.
Britain has almost a million young people classified as NEETs.
@LotteBrundle met some who chose an unusual way out: becoming apprentice undertakers.

In print as of yesterday! @ObserverUK
Epitaph for a glacier
Glaciers are not supposed to stop moving, but in 2014 one did. Miles Ellingham travels to Iceland to see it and meet the activist who believes its death should shock us into taking action

'Andri Snær Magnason looked down at the naked land, remembering how, the last time he walked it, the ground was clothed in ice. I imagine this feeling is like realising your dad is going bald, followed by a gradual terror.'

A few ideas on how to deal with the end of the world which @AndriMagnason and I brainstormed whilst climbing a volcano having left the water back in the car.
How do we talk about the beginning of the end of the world? In an unmissable piece in today’s @ObserverUK @MilesEllingham travels to Iceland to meet a man @AndriMagnason who thinks he might know. Epitaph for a glacier

I took @milesellingham to the end of the world to explore the summer that has arrived but is not leaving…

I wanted to write about the end of world but I didn’t know how. So @ObserverUK sent me Iceland to meet the extraordinary writer, @AndriMagnason . Four days, one frozen helicopter ride and one dead glacier later I started work on this.

It’s hard to think about climate breakdown because it’s hard to talk about. Even those two words “climate breakdown” just feel muted. Hopefully this piece will help reframe our muted descriptors. It also briefly details the sex lives of trolls. observer.co.uk/style/feature…
My talented friends @jackjeffery50 and Abraham Elton have pulled off an expansive investigation into Sacha Jafri, who recently became the fifth most expensive living artist. I've seen the graft this has taken. People should read it @The_Fence_Mag the-fence.com/article/imposs…
A late reminder to read this. Our brilliant editorial assistant @fincarterr managed to commission Nico Walker to write about firefighters and 9/11 and it's seriously powerful.
Turns out @fincarterr can do everything. Do get in touch with him.
Psyched to have commissioned this article by the great Nico Walker. It's the best thing you'll read about 9/11 this year.
I'm looking to commission more articles for Dispatch.
